I've played the 56 gold top reissue with p-90's. Does the 57 have the same neck but with humbuckers? I'm looking for a more round neck. Is that type of profile only found on the 58's and 59's?

'56 and '57 necks are big and round

I have played both a 2000 '56 RI and a 2000 '57 RI recently and the necks felt identical to me. I should make one caveat though: the '57 I played was not a GT but had a nice butterscotch 'burst top on it which seems pretty rare since I was under the impression that the '57 RI was the GT, and '58 & '59 had the bursts. Go figure.

I hope that this helps.
